How to Get Faith.

1 hear a great many people say, How
am I to get faith? 1 would come to
Christ, but 1 don't know how to get
faith" 1t would take months and years
to get that. Now, 1 was long time get
ting faith. l was anxious TO work for
the Lord, but l wanted faith. l wanted
to get faith, but | went about it in the
wrong way. l prayed for it and did
nothing else. That isn't the way to get
faith-tO pray for it and neglect the
Word of God. The way to get faith is
to know who God is; and | never knew
man or woman that was well acquainted
with God that wanted faith. Some one
said to a Scotch woman, You are a wo-
man of great faith" No" she says, Il
am woman of little faith, but l have a
great God" Now would you just turn
moment to the twentieth chapter of the
Gospel of John and the thirty-first verse
But these are written, that We might be-
lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of
God; and that believing, We might have
life through his name" Now the whole
Gospel of John was written for one pur-
pose. John took up his pen, and he
wrote that gospel that we might believe
that Jesus Christ was the Son of God,
and that by believing we might have eter-
nal life. And so, instead of praying for
faith and mourning because we haven't
got faith, let US study the Word of God
and get acquainted with the God of Isra-
el, and then we have faith in him. You
can't find a man or woman that is ac-
quainted with God but that has strong
faith in God.-D. L. Moody.

Chinese Converts.

Nothing proves the genuineneSS of
Christ's gospel in experience and its pow
er to overthrow heathenism, more than
the testimony of converted Pagans and
their endurance of persecution for
Christ's sake The first Protestant Chris
tian martyr in China was previously a
Confucian temple-keeper. After his con-
version he set to work as self-appointed
Bible reader. a great many were led to
God through his work. This raised a
persecution, and the Christians were ter
ribly abused. Che, the converted temple
suspended by the arms through the night,
was pounded to death and thrown into
the river. Another Chinese convert, Lin
Kin Shan, was widely known as riotous
Iibertine. Now he is the center of Cos
pei work in his own locality. The con-
verts in China are Jealous workers in the
new cause. The work is genuine among
them. They will sacrifice property, and
even life itself to Christ. Says Rev. c.
f. Turner Il have worked with Chinese
Christians who have borne on their backs
the marks of the Lord Jesus; men with
great burned scars on their bodies from
the torture of fire in the service of the
Gospel" Says Rev. G. Smith Some of
these women, i'll regard to faith, and zeal,
and patience, and self-denial, might take
their places by the side of their most hon
ored sisters at home" Says DR.. Legge
a ter forty years missionary work in Chi
IA Il have heard men who had at one
time been great criminals, and afterward
lived good lives, and comforting with
their latest breath, and stimulating their
friends who stood weeping around. Yes,
the converts are real" r. J. G.

ton of revival influences and methods

ton of revival influences and methods
and demonstrations as in former times
But it is a fact that it is now common
for churches to have multiplied services
and continued interest, and additions by
scores without any intimation from the
pastor or people that this is not the normal
state of religious life and spiritual pro-
gress. We recently assisted at com
munion service where nearly a hundred
presented themselves to be received on
confession of faith and where there was
not word uttered or sentiment eX-
pressed which would have led a stranger
to think that this was not the grace of
God which constantly abounded where
the Son of man is lifted up, During the
last few days we have heard many things
which encourage us to think that serious
interest in christian truth and effort is be-
ing prolonged into these weeks of early
spring. Let US not be weary in weIl-doing
as soon as the natural sun begins to shine
more brightly. Let all the great and gra-
cious opportunity of the winter season

summer begins to overpower. This is the
victory that overcometh the world with
all its sin and folly and unbelef, even
our faith. Is not our faith strong enough
to make us give our time, the affection,
the means, the labor essential to the
harvesting of souls? In a very few
weeks many of our citizens will begin
to seek their homes in the vicinity. Let
them not forget the vast number and the
great necessities of the multidues who
remain here surrounded by temptation and
danger. How many of Gods people in
this place and in every other place where
there are souls to be redeemed, will say
with the prophet, for lions sake will
not hold my peace, and for Jerusalems
sake viii L not rest, until the righteous
ness thereof go forth as brightness, and
the salvation thereof as lamp that burn

Preaching Christ.

The president OF one of our theologic-
al Summaries i'll charging young pastor
not long since, bid him preach Christ
and not drag into the pulpit the scien-
titic and philosophical themes which fill
the pages of our journals and magazines,
and reviews. These things are SO ably
and fully discussed there. that the pulpit
has no reasonable excuse for serving
them up TO the immortal natures that
wait upon its miniStrationS.
The pre-eminent element of all our
preaching should be the spiritual. 1t is
not the intellect of a man that needs to
be stimulated at the Sunday service, it is
his spiritual nature that needs quickening.
He will get good out of the services CT
Gods house as he finds in it the mount
OF communion with the Most High, and
as Jesus is TRANSPORTED before him. He
Is soul hungry and ul thirsty. Scien-
| tihc discussions are chat and husks to
| such hunger and such thirst The hun
| CRY man wants bread, and Christ is that
bread. Surely in his Fathers house
there should be bread enough and TO
spare. He cannot find appeasing in the
stone OF scientific speculation or philo-
sophical disquisitiop. He is athirst and
seeks the living water that can only be
drawn out of the wells of salvation. All
his need is summed up in a word, and
that word name. and that name is
Christ.
The acceptable ministry is that which
affords an earnest, warm-hearted presen-
| tatiOn of the living truths that centre in
Christ Jesus, and these include the whole
Bible. There is nothing that can take
the place of such a ministry. There is
no monotony in the gospel no staleness
about God 5 Word The gospel does not
tire. Innnmefable are the changes that
may be rung upon the gospel bells. In
them is the harmony of heaven, and mems
hearts need these harmonies that they
may not be overwhelmed with the worlds
distractions
In the present age men are not demand
| ing great sermons, deep sermons, over
mastering rhetorical efforts. There is
| danger that these may be brilliant and
/ beautiful, but only as pyrotechnical dis
plays are brilliant, creating a sensation
| of pleasure it may be, but without cor
responding profit. In this age men are
asking for the clear, terse, practical less
/ ons of Gods own Word as they bear
upon everyday life Only thus can they

True POliteness.

Is it because it is the exception
rather than the rule that we are 50
deeply stirred when we see the mani
festations of true politeness? Truly,
with the light of this century shining
into our souls it is to be hoped not.
You may remember how one act of
the chivalrOus Sir Philip Sidney
preached a sermon on the text, .'in
honor preferring one another" While
he living wounded on the battlefield
was offered a cup of cold water, but
mOtiOning 1t 10 a suffering soldier at
his side. he said, This certainly is q
glimpse of humanity at its sweetest,
50 sweet as TO almost touch the d.
vine. And vet even children some
times give Us these glimpses of beau
tiful natures. One warm day last
summer at a picnic a group of warm
and tired children rushed to the plat
form in great delight at the call,
''Ihis way for lemonade"
A beautiful little girl. whose win
ming face would make II i marked one

of the refreshing beverage and was
about To raise it 10 her lips when she
noticed pale-faced child pleadingly

Temperance.
How a Smoker Got A Home

l began to chew at the age of
twelve. A few years later l com
menced smoking. The habit grew

church, and very soon abandoned

Just at this time | met a friend.
who, with a countenance beaming
with love, said. sit don't look wen

the last segar | ever smoked. ] was

will tell the boys what | did with it,
that they may see how unwise and in
exEedient it is to commence the ex-
pensive, demoralizing habit of smok-
ing or chewing tobacco.
We had long lived in the city, but
the annual visits of the children to
their grandfather's made them long

There were two acres of land, with
abundant shade and fruit trees,

churches and schools, a convenient
distance from New York. The segar
money was drawn upon to purchase
the place, and it is mine.

smoke could see how the children en-
joy their new home, as they watch the
great steamers, and the vessels with
their white sails as they course along
the Sound. Sometimes over a hum
dred are seen at one view.
Just before or after a storm, we
hear very distinctly, the roar of old
Ocean. 1t is then that we think of
the perils of the sea, and realize the
dangers to which the brave sailors
are exposed. The children and
grandchildren are also interested in
the horse. COW, calf and chickens.
They enjoy their plays and sports on
the green grass, which gives them
health and happiness.
Ny smoking was moderate COM
pared with that of many, only six Sc
gars day at 81 cents each, equal to
$1,000 per annum, which. at per
cent. interest for Fifty four years,
amounts to the small fortune of $751;
324.75. This has afforded means for
the education of my children, with an
appropriate allowance for benevolent
objects.
Great as this saving has been, it is
not to be compared with improved
health, clear head and steady hand,
at the age of seventy-eight years,
and entire freedom from desire for |
tobacco in any form.

As the temperance movement
presses on towards its final triumph
new obstacles will be thrown in its
way. All that selfishness, money,
official position, talents and learning
can do, will be done to save the
liquor-traffic from destruction.
Among the most formidable of these
obstacles are those thrown in the way
professedly in the interest of the
good cause itself. At the first sight
they deceive many OF its true friends
and for time lead them astray. The
devil is never SO hard to meet, SO diff
cult to overcome, as when he appears
in the garb of an angel of light.

A Boys Influence.

Some time ago | attended a relig-
ious meeting, and at the close of the
exercises the audience was invited to
participate in testimonies. A middle
age man arose and said, in substance {:
81 have been saved from intemper-
ance by my little boy, pointing to a
bright lad in the audience. 81 owe
my conversion under God to my own
little son. Religion has made me a
sober man and helps me to live an
honest, Industrious life. 1t was not
always so. On one occasion was alb
sent three or days from my home and
my poor wife and boy were nearly
broken-hearted. On the fourth dav
my dear child asked his teacher to
let him go home at recess, as he was
not feeling well. The boy was sick
at heart on my account; when he
burst into tears, and said to his
mother, 81 can't study at school, /
can't sleep at night, my head aches
and my lips are parched praying to
God to send home father. Mother
does God hear? His mother strove
to comfort him, but her faith was be-
ginning to WAIVER, for through her
married life her unceasing prayer had
been for my reclamation. After wan
dering from one saloon to another,
at the end of the fourth dav | return
ed home intoxicated. Did my boy
turn from his drunken father? No, he
ran to me, clasped his arms about
my neck and wept tears of JOY. At
ter his emotion his first words were
Father, | almost feel l can never
pray again, for God has let you
come home drunk The words struck
me to the heart, and / said, dom
lose your faith in God, and your
poor miserable father will never get
drunk again. God heard that prom
Use and has enabled me to keep it. -
This man is among the most earnest
workers in the temperance cause to-
day. He had lost all self-respect and
had sunk very low, but could not
bear to see his child lose confidence
in God; therefore the boy became
the means of his fathers reformation.
The exertions put forth on behalf of
| children in temperance instruction
will not be lost in the home, but will
produce lasting fruitage.
